About this holiday
The National Mint of Bolivia (Mint of Potosí) is located at the site of the former colonial mint (operational 1773–1951). Historically, Potosí was crucial because much of the silver from the Spanish Main originated there, circulated through Spanish dollar coins, which were a major international currency.
